EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the grandeur of the Long Room at the Custom House located on 20 Lower Thames Street in the City of London. The Custom House, an iconic building steeped in history, served as the headquarters for the Port of London Authority and was responsible for the collection of duties on imports and exports. The Long Room, with its high ceilings and expansive space, is a testament to the bustling commerce and trade that once thrived in the City of London. Men in suits and hats, likely customs officials or merchants, are seen busy at work at the long, wooden counters, meticulously examining goods and poring over documents. The room is filled with a sense of purpose and industry, reflecting the economic importance of the Port of London during this era. The large, ornate lamps suspended from the ceiling provide ample light, illuminating the room and casting long, dramatic shadows. The intricate details of the room's architecture, from the ornate moldings to the intricate woodwork, are on full display. The large windows offer a glimpse of the bustling activity outside on the Thames, adding to the sense of energy and movement. This photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of commerce and trade that once dominated the City of London. The Long Room at the Custom House stands as a symbol of the city's rich history and its enduring role as a global hub of business and commerce.
